March 06, 2008 — A Cornwall man has died in a snowmobile crash in South Glengarry. Police say 52-year-old Ronald Gauthier of Cornwall was riding his snowmobile yesterday morning on a private trail near Summerstown. His machine evidently struck some sort of snowmobile trail groomer. He was found around 7:15 yesterday morning. Constable Paul Murphy says an autopsy is being done because it's not clear whether Gauthier died from the accident or may have succumbed to the cold. Police are also looking into what may have caused the crash. It's the first snowmobiling death in the region this season.
sounds like he hit a groomer that was parked
dam that hurts
Didn't hear anything about it, my condolences to the family, very tragic.
Sad situation.
Never ride beyond what you can see to either stop for or get out of the way of!
